Maxum 18 (3Ltr) - Steering slack

[High Flyer]

Hi Guys

Whats the remedy for slack in the steering, not noticeable at planing speeds, but two inches of play in the steering wheel at slow maneuvering speeds

cheers: John

John, this could be due to a few different things. Check that the bolts which hold the rack to the pinion assembly under the helm are not loose. Check that the U bolt which pinches the swivel shaft on the transom assembly is torqued correctly and that there is not excessive play here, this is a common issue.
